Statistics

This class allows the calculation of key statistics for a set of data that may change its size frequently. The main advantage of this class is the ability of updating the key statistics while storing minimum information about previous data into a set of main variables given below, rather than storing the actual data. Based on the next main variables, that are recalculated with each new value that is added to the population,

it calculates the statistics using the following formulas

where mean is the arithmetic mean, geomean is the geometric mean, harmean is the harmonic mean,var </em> is the variance and stdev is the standard deviation. The skewness and kurtosis are calculated using similar formulas.

A C# version of this class is available when you obtain a licence

Example 1

#include <codecogs/statistics/moments/statistics.h>
    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    {
      double a[15];
      for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++)
        a[i]=i+1;
      a[1]=5;
      Stats::Moments::Statistics<double> stats(15, a);
      stats.print();
      return 0;
    }

Output:

Total = 123.0000000000
    Arithmetic Mean = 8.2000000000
     Geometric Mean = 6.8280387111
      Harmonic Mean = 4.9698018386
           Variance = 18.0285714286
 Standard Deviation = 4.2460065271
           Skewness = 0.0403100873
           Kurtosis = -1.0487842858
